lordvaderRevenge of the Sith is the second best film of the series. While the dialogue and cut scenes detract from the film, the overall story with additional context from the Clone Wars series makes it one of the best stories told in Sci-Fi. Anakin Skywalker is a complex character with a tragic fall. The Rumination Scene is one of the if not the best scenes in Star Wars. Anakin and Padme across the city apart mirroring each others actions as they both seem to come to terms with what is about to unfold is one of my favorite parts of Star Wars. Does the movie have flaws? Absolutely. Should scenes not have been deleted? Absolutely. This is my one gripe of the movie as the lack of these scenes take away from the average viewer fully understanding what it doing on. However if you do your homework and see extra context from the Clone Wars and books Revenge of the Sith is probably the best Star Wars story ever told. I remember being heartbroken as a kid going to this on opening night. Truly a masterful tragedy that even the title could not have prepared a first time viewer with no context of seeing the OT yet. Hayden, Ewan, Ian and Natalie although limited by dialogue of the writers at times do a masterful job. I am so glad to see people realize the actors work with what they were told to do now 20 years later. Every single one of them deserve their flowers and more. The movie is flawed at points and I hope a remake long in the future (not yet!) takes it to a clearer picture for the audience as the events unfold. However, it will always be one of my favorites, if not my favorite movie.
